Really essential for putting holes in porcelain tiles, to put up units or shelves. Make sure that rawlplugs are set back and / or the hole is large enough for the screw shank plus some wiggle room, or you might crack the tile when you drive a tight screw home. Expensive, but worth it.

Wish these things would last longer. The variance between how long each big lasts can be as much as 10 holes.
With a grinder or drill attachment, these work really well. Fast clean cuts but durability consistency needs improvement.

Hands down the best tile drills, last very well and go through even the hardest tiles. I have the full set and do replace the most used ones from time to time but so much better than others I’ve used. The cheaper ones just wear out after one or two holes these are definetly worth a little extra money

Hi. Dave Armstrong from DA Gas, Heat and Plumbing. Today I'm doing a Tool Talk review for Expert Trades.
Today I'm reviewing the Rubi drill bit for tiles, and this one is actually designed to go straight onto your angle grinder. And it just screws straight on there. I'm using, obviously, a Makita cordless angle grinder with a 4 amp battery. It's just been charged. So, you can see exactly what I'll be using.
I've just done one hole with it, which I've previously started. And just to show you how tough these tiles are, I did have the Bosch blue bits burnt out. I did have one of these. That burnt out. But, to be fair, I'd already used that elsewhere. But the Bosch ones, they started it but just couldn't get through. So I cut my losses, went out, and went with the highly-rated Rubi bits, which everyone keeps telling me to try but I was a bit nervous about using it with an angle grinder.
What they do sell is an adapter, so if you're not confident or can't use an angle grinder, or haven't got an angle grinder, they do an adapter which you screw onto the bit and then that can go into your drill. But they did say you're best off using the grinder, because the Rubi bit asks for a maximum RPM of 14,000, which is really quick and obviously your cordless drill will probably struggle to get anywhere near that.
So, going to give this go and let's see how it goes. I'll just pop some goggles on. That's it. That's gone through. I wasn't timing it, but it's pretty quick. They're wax-cooled bits, so you've no need to add any water with it; you don't need to be cooling it down. Just away you go: maximum speed and away you go. So there you have it. It's the Rubi wax drill bit. Thank you very much.
